Why not Apple into Products and Services?

Products being - for example products being iPhone and iOS and services being iCloud, Apple Music, Apple TV+, etc.

I actually really like that. Would force a (semi?-)public compatibility layer that allows other competitors to enter the space. If you want to back your iPhone up to Google Drive, you do you.

App Store would also likely end up in Services, which would also open up multi-app store compatibility. It's almost too good of a solution.
